The
GeoEnviron Contaminated Land Module is a site prioritisation
and data management for tool for local authority environmental
officers in the process of implementing Part IIA strategies.

Part
IIA implementation will for most authorities, result in
the generation of large amounts of data. This information
will be used for a variety of purposes including prioritising
sites, informing colleagues (i.e. planners, valuers,
housing officers), reporting to the Environment Agency and
communicating risk to the professional and general public.
The data resource will also form the basis of an historical
land use archive which will be used for many years to come.
It is therefore important that a robust and flexible Information
Management System (IMS) is employed for managing this data.

Facilities
in the GeoEnviron System

The major benefits you will realise from implementing the
GeoEnviron Contaminated Land Module are described below.

The
system uses high performance SQL databases for reliable
and efficient data and document management.

GeoEnviron
is a client/server system that can be accessed
by multiple users at the same time with no loss
in performance.

GeoEnviron
comes with a user friendly built-in
GIS as well as seamless integrations to
external GIS programs including Mapinfo or ArcGIS,
Cadcorp, GeoMedia and Microstation.

GeoEnviron
comes with a scientifically robust site prioritisation
system designed by contaminated land specialists.
The system and methodology used ensure that sites
are prioritised transparently and consistently.

GeoEnviron
comes with a powerful decision support
system called InfoBase. InfoBase contains detailed
information on hazardous contaminants, remediation
technologies and DOE industry profiles.

GeoEnviron
has advanced security features allowing
for the creation of user accounts with passwords
and tagging of individual tables to indicate
levels of confidentiality meaning that users
can be given appropriate access privileges to
individual tables.

It
has extensive facilities for recording meta-data,
thereby easing the task of data auditing.

GeoEnviron
is web enabled allowing for effective
data sharing via an intranet/internet. GeoEnviron
Web solutions are ideal if you are considering
implementing an internal search tool for planners
or an on-line public register. They not only
remove the worries associated with arrangements
for public access but in addition, give you more
control over the information accessed; save you
time; and help you contribute to meeting your
authority's e-government targets!
